1. when i get banned on arc raiders, do i have to fresh install my pc?

2. im on a pc with hdd, ssd and boot encryption. along with that i used a perm spoofer a while back to change my hwid. will my pc BSOD or worse if i were to use cheats + spoofer?

3. where can i get non stolen arc raider accounts for cheap?

4. if i kill someone and drop loot to another player, will the items that i dropped get refunded if i get banned?

1. no
2. who knows what kind of perm spoofer did u use
3. you can just family share them
4. they will be refunded to the player you killed (only items that he brought into the match) but won't taken of a player you dropped to

if you do family share, won't the first account get banned?

No, you don’t need to reinstall your PC. If it’s a hardware ban, reinstalling Windows won’t change anything. If you really want to buy an account, people usually try G2G, but it’s still not risk free. And no, if you drop loot to another player and later get banned, nothing gets refunded

1. You don't always have to, but it's the safest way to clear out traces. Embark and EAC are really good at finding hidden log files and registry keys that link your old banned account to a new one. If you don't want to reinstall, at least use a solid trace cleaner.

2. Yeah, combining a spoofer with boot encryption is asking for trouble. Most spoofers mess with your disk serials or BIOS info, which can trigger your encryption and lock you out of your own drive. If you're going to use one, definitely disable the encryption first so you don't end up with a bricked Windows install.

3. Your best bet is buying legit keys from sites like CDKeys or instant gaming. Stay away from those "NFA" accounts you see for a couple of bucks - those are almost always stolen and will get recovered or banned instantly. If you want to go for those anyway, make sure to pick a REALLY good, legit supplier.

4. The loot you dropped won't just disappear instantly, but Embark has been known to track "unnatural" transfers (not even cheating related ones).

It's a lot of work to stay ahead of them right now. Are you planning on using a temporary spoofer or sticking with the permanent one you already have?
